AMHERST,
Mass. – Sophomore forward Drea Nogueira (New Bedford, Mass.) scored in the
81st minute, but the University of New Hampshire
women's soccer team suffered a 2-1, double-overtime defeat at
the hands of the University of Massachusetts on Friday afternoon at
Rudd Field.

The loss drops the Wildcats to
2-2-2, while the Minutewomen improve to 2-2-0.

With the match knotted in a
scoreless tie with 8:38 remaining in regulation, Nogueira netted
her team-leading third goal of the year when she received a low
cross in front from junior midfielder Alli Rozelle
(Stratham, N.H.), who had one-timed a long pass from senior
midfielder Marika Posehn (Duncan, British
Columbia), and beat UMass goalkeeper Emily Cota to give her squad
the 1-0 lead.

UNH looked to have the game won and
freshman goalkeeper Erica
Correa (Cheshire, Conn.) seemed to have her first
career shutout in hand, but with just 2:36 to play, Meghan Collins
scored off a scramble in front of the net to tie the score and send
the match to overtime.

Then with 3:49 to play in the
second extra session, the Minutewomen stole the victory when Kayla
Austin's cross to the far post was finished by Ashley Hamel to give
UMass the come-from-behind 2-1 win.

Correa made a career-high 10 saves
in the loss, while Cota stopped four shots.

UMass outshot the Wildcats, 21-10,
and held a 5-1 edge in corner kicks, but was whistled for 26 fouls
to UNH's 15.

The Wildcats return to action
Sunday, Sept. 12 at 1 p.m. when they play host to Siena College at
Lewis Fields.
